John Kennedy said..... Ask not what your country can do for you,ask what you can do for your country.

Do you feel Wall street,the Bankers,and the greedy stockbrokers,rememberd this riviting statement when they were bankrupting the country?.... Thats why the President had to raise the taxes, its payback time and the people again, have to pay the price for other peoples greed.

You are obviously not old enough to recall when George Herbert Walker Bush said, "read my lips...no new taxes" and stated that he would not raise taxes. But once he became president, Bush raised taxes as a way to reduce the national budget deficit.

And you do not remember that Ronald Reagan approved a total of 13 tax increases, including one of the largest in history in 1982.

If you want to know why prices are being raised, look to see what companies and industries are raising prices. You should be aggravated with the high-paid CEOs who make millions if not billions in salary every year.

Taxes have decreased since Obama entered office. For the middle class anyway. He needs to raise taxes somewhere to help balance the federal deficit.

You must not be smart enough to remember Lil Bush cutting taxes...when that happened the Gov received more freaking tax money than it had seen in forever...less taxes, more money?...how does that work?...more companies able to hire, grow, and actually pay their taxes instead of going through loop holes to hide it...less taxes for companies means more jobs= more people working= more tax revenue for the Gov....now if the Gov would stop spending more than it received we wouldn't have a problem, actually we'd have a surplus..but with everyone wanting to spend money for these people and those people and for this project and that project, the day will probably never come when the Gov. acts like a true household and pay what it only can pay with the money it has, and not with money it will hopefully receive with freaking tax hikes!!! Dum Arse...enjoy

Do you realize that 'raising taxes' is not the same thing as 'rising prices'?

1. No taxes have been raised - not federally.2. Rising prices is about the greed of the business owner - not federal government.

3. These two cannot be compared directly to each other because they are not in the same category. #1 is a government issue while #2 is a private citizen ownship/business issue.

Prices dont become higher because of greed. if prices were high because of greed, that "greedy" seller would be undercut by another company making the same product, but willing to make a little less profit per unit. the beauty of capitalism
